875 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
876 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
877 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
878 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
879 e.g. backtraces.
880
881 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
882 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
883 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
884 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
885 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
886 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

2033 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
2034 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
2035 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

2042 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
2043 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
